#1 school attendance software — class-wise & parent SMS

How daily attendance works with Nipun

Attendance is the one record a school creates every single day, and it matters well beyond the register. Parents want to know their child reached school safely, the principal needs class-wise percentages, and boards and inspections ask for monthly registers. When attendance lives only in paper registers, these questions take hours to answer.

With Nipun Schools, the class teacher opens the class on a phone or computer at the start of the day. The teacher marks the students who are absent or on leave and saves, which takes only a minute or two per class. Schools that prefer devices can instead record attendance with a biometric machine (fingerprint, face or card), and those punches go into the same final register, so there is still one attendance record per child per day.

Messages to parents on the same day

As soon as attendance is saved, the parents of absent children can receive a message on WhatsApp or SMS. This simple step has two effects. Parents learn about an unexpected absence within minutes, which matters for safety. And regular reminders make parents take attendance more seriously, which over time reduces casual absences.

Registers and reports without manual totals

• Monthly register: the familiar register format for each class, ready to print, with totals calculated automatically.
• Attendance percentage: for each student and each class, so the school can spot children falling below the required percentage before exams, not after.
• Staff attendance: teachers and staff can be marked the same way, and the data can feed into payroll.

Improving attendance, not just recording it

A register only tells you who was absent. Schools that improve attendance look at patterns: the same child absent every Monday, a class with low attendance before festivals, or a bus route with frequent late arrivals. Our free guide on improving student attendance explains practical steps schools use, from early calls to parents to recognising good attendance in assemblies.
